I've got to say that I do love Christopher Hitchen's writing pre-Desert Storm II [I particularly liked Why Orwell Matters] but there are times over these past few years in which I wished he could be water boarded...well, my wish came true.
The video of this procedure is semi-shocking and Hitchens lasts about 10 seconds...which is about 5 seconds longer than I would make it...What did he think of the experiment? Let the title of the article speak for itself "Believe Me, It's Torture."
